KDE Twitter App Choqok Updates with New Look

Chirp, chirp: The very capable KDE twitter application Choqok is available for download.

Choqok 1.2 introduces a new styled ‘vertical button strip’ to the left of the window which negates the need for the ‘two tabbed’ interface as seen in previous versions.

This button-bar can be un-themed, moved and resized by right-clicking on it.

The Choqok menubar can be “hidden” and replaced with a Chrome/Elementary style ‘button menu’. Ubuntu Unity users won’t notice much difference however, as the App Menu bar contains the menu regardless of whether this option is checked or not.

Other changes: –

Ability to set custom fonts

statistics support for the is.gd shortening service

Better conversation view for identi.ca

Bug fixes
